==Description==
Based on the ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]], the '''''Sha Yu''''', or "Shark", is one of the first 'Mechs to incorporate the [[stealth armor]] developed by the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref name="TRO:3067p60+">''Technical Readout: 3067'', pp. 60–61: "SYU-2B Sha Yu"</ref>
+
Based on the ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]], the '''''Sha Yu''''', or "Shark", is one of the first 'Mechs to incorporate the [[Stealth Armor]] developed by the [[Capellan Confederation]]. The ''Sha Yu'' is built on a lightweight Hellespont Type T [[Endo Steel]] and is powered by a VOX 280 [[XL engine]] that gives the ''Sha Yu'' an impressive top speed of 118.8 km/h. The ''Sha Yu'' is protected by six and a half tons of Hellespont Lite Stealth Armor, making the 'Mech extremely difficult to hit. The ''Sha Yu'' also carries a Guardian [[ECM Suite]] as part of its stealth armor in order to protect itself from enemy electronic warfare systems.
  
== Weapons and Equipment ==

==Armament==
The ''Sha Yu'' is built on a lightweight [[Hellespont Type T]] [[endo steel]] chassis and is powered by a [[VOX 280 XL]] [[extralight engine]] that gives it an impressive top speed of 118.8 km/h. Protection is provided by six and a half tons of [[Hellespont Lite]] [[stealth armor]], making the 'Mech extremely difficult to hit. The ''Sha Yu'' also carries a [[Guardian ECM suite]] as part of its stealth armor in order to protect itself from enemy electronic warfare systems.<ref name="TRO:3067p60+"/>
+
The ''Sha Yu'' is armed with a basic, yet effective, energy weapons based payload. For long range combat, the 'Mech has two Martell [[ER Large Laser]]s, providing good long range firepower. These are backed up by a pair of Diverse Optics Type [[ER Medium Laser]]s for close combat. Finally, for added lethality, the ''Sha Yu'' carries a [[TAG]] target designator allowing it to call in accurate [[Arrow IV]] artillery missile attacks on a target.

==Variants==
 +
* SYU-4B - Modified for close range brawling, the 4B variant of the ''Sha Yu'' completely reconfigures the 'Mech to optimize it for use as a close combat brawler in a C3 lance. The ER Large Lasers have been dropped in favor of a single [[LRM-5]] launcher for long range sparring. Finally, for close combat, the 'Mech has three [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and also has a [[C3 Slave]] unit added to the 'Mech to allow it to be used in C3 lances.

== Variants ==
+
* SYU-6B - This configuration carries twin [[Medium Laser]]s and two [[Snub Nose PPC]]s. BV (2.0) = 1,503<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 93</ref>
*; SYU-4B : Modified for close range brawling and developed in [[Introduction Year::3065]],<ref name="MUL2"/> the 4B variant of the ''Sha Yu'' completely reconfigures the 'Mech to optimize it for use as a brawler in a C3 lance. The [[ER large laser]]s have been dropped in favor of a single [[LRM-5]] launcher for long-range sparring, supported by three [[medium pulse laser]]s for close combat; the two ER medium lasers are retained. Two tons of armor has been added. A [[C3 slave]] unit replaces the TAG, allowing it to be used in C3 lances.<ref name=TRJp76f /> BV (1.0) = 962;<ref name="COp123"/> BV (2.0) = 1,348<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 92</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/5027/sha-yu-syu-4b/ MUL online entry for the Sha Yu SYU-4B variant]''</ref>

===Custom Variants===
 +
* SYU-2B ''Sha Yu'' Bulldog - Used by the [[BattleTech Dossiers: Youling Zhanshi|Youling Zhanshi]] MechWarrior Russel Murphy, this ''Sha Yu'' replaces the extended range lasers with standard versions. The resulting drop in heat from this weapon trade has also allowed Murphy to remove a heat sink. The TAG system is also gone. All these missing systems were replaced by additional Stealth Armor.
